At least it is not clean from the beginning and I am not able to reset `git reset --hard` only toggles the modified file from ".../sortable" to ".../Sortable" and back (see attached screenshot) Is this a known problem (with case sensitivity)? Any suggestions how to fix it? Thanks Martin ``` ## Torsten Bögershausen, 2014-12-06 12:14 Subject: Re: Cannot reset a repo Message-ID: <5482F32C.40709@web.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/5482F32C.40709%40web.de In-Reply-To: <5482DA16.4080509@wwWendt.de> ``` On 2014-12-06 11.27, Martin Wendt wrote: > Hi, > > I am facing this problem: > > - Using git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50) > - cloned a fork from GitHub to my local machine: > https://github.com/mar10/cdnjs/ > - This repo seems to be broken in some way. > At least it is not clean from the beginning and I am not able to reset > `git reset --hard` only toggles the modified file from > ".../sortable" to ".../Sortable" and back > (see attached screenshot) > > Is this a known problem (with case sensitivity)? I think so >Any suggestions how to fix it? Try to rename Sortable into Sortable.u: git mv Sortable Sortable.upper (When that does not work) git mv sortable sortable.lower If this is not an option, use a USB Stick, format it with HFS+ "case sensitive" and clone the repo to the stick ``` ## Martin Wendt, 2014-12-06 16:01 Subject: Re: Cannot reset a repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/C1046576-F27C-4C93-9C67-239FDAE46D23%40wwWendt.de In-Reply-To: <5482F32C.40709@web.de> ``` > Am 06.12.2014 um 13:14 schrieb Torsten Bögershausen : > > On 2014-12-06 11.27, Martin Wendt wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am facing this problem: >> >> - Using git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50) >> - cloned a fork from GitHub to my local machine: >> https://github.com/mar10/cdnjs/ >> - This repo seems to be broken in some way. >> At least it is not clean from the beginning and I am not able to reset >> `git reset --hard` only toggles the modified file from >> ".../sortable" to ".../Sortable" and back >> (see attached screenshot) >> >> Is this a known problem (with case sensitivity)? > I think so >> Any suggestions how to fix it? > > Try to rename Sortable into Sortable.u: > git mv Sortable Sortable.upper > (When that does not work) > git mv sortable sortable.lower > > If this is not an option, use a USB Stick, format it with HFS+ "case sensitive" > and clone the repo to the stick > Thanks for responding. It is a fork of the 6GB cdnjs repository and I don't own the sortable lib. So renaming is not an option. Also, I am working on a MacBook, which already has a case sensitive file system. ``` ## Martin Wendt, 2014-12-07 15:34 Subject: Re: Cannot reset a repo Message-ID: <05564C98-ADF9-491F-A22B-A2523EDFB381@wwWendt.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/05564C98-ADF9-491F-A22B-A2523EDFB381%40wwWendt.de In-Reply-To: <54842694.9030908@web.de> ``` arghh, sorry that's embarrassing. I was sure that the Mac filesystem was case sensitive by default, because it's unix based...
